Hypnotherapy is a Safe, Effective, All-natural, Drug-Free Alternative Treatment. Don’t suffer the pain of Depression – Live a free, happy and fulfilled life.

Picking up from where we left off in Part I, where we talked a bit about the history of depression… and how that led to an idea that it is a medical condition caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain… starting a treatment approach using anti-depressant medication… but that theory was never actually proven…

That’s right. The story about Depression being caused by low levels of serotonin in the brain can’t be discredited because it was never actually credited – according to Professor of Psychiatry, Dr David Healy. And because, there are people who’ve been on anti-depressant medication, literally for decades with little to no improvement… it has prompted people to start looking for what else they can do to deal with Depression. Which, let’s face it, depression is not just debilitating at times, but even life threatening.

Hypnosis as an alternative or complimentary treatment for Depression…

Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation; a quietening of the conscious mind. This makes it extremely helpful to slow down those looping thoughts of harsh, critical words that tend to play over and over in the mind of a depressed person. This tends to happen because our mind is scanning the memory bank for ways to identify an explanation for our pain and fix the problem of not having one or more of our inherent needs met. This is part of our survival mechanism to escape the threat of pain.

What are our inherent needs and how does this relate to Depression?

We as humans have a number of inherent physical needs such as air, water, food, warmth and safety in order to survive. We also have a number of emotional and psychological needs such as love, belonging, significance, certainty and variety as well as a need to contribute in order to thrive.

“Depression is caused by not having one or more of our inherent needs met, as well as the looping negative thoughts that play in our mind.”

Hypnosis can help lower cortisol levels (stress hormones), that often go with depression, help improve sleep, increase energy, boost motivation, which in turn boosts confidence and self-esteem and create new neural pathways (aka trains of thought) that are more positive and encouraging. BUT BEST OF ALL… Hypnosis is a perfect way to unlock the subconscious mind to uncover when/where/how/why those looping negative thoughts ever got started and also discover which of our inherent need/s are not being met. Once we understand that, we can work out ways to meet those needs and, through hypnosis, reprogram the mind to be motivated, not only to see things in a more positive light, but also do things which provide proof to the subconscious mind, that life is good and getting better all the time.

How is Hypnotherapy different to traditional talk therapy or CBT?

Hypnosis, and in particular the Rapid Transformational Therapy™ brand of hypnotherapy, is quick. Combining regression, integration and emotional transformation in as little as one, two-hour session. In severe cases of depression it may take two or three sessions with some follow up support calls, but certainly not years and years of rehashing the same issues without ever understanding what to do with them after that. Hypnotherapy gives people a lot of hope that there’s not only light at the end of the tunnel, but there’s a way out of it completely.

If you’ve ever been diagnosed with Depression, you’ve probably been told it’s a medical condition caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and if you Google it, you’ll most likely read that it’s a mental illness that can be caused by anything from genetics, brain biology, trauma, grief, difficult relationships, adverse childhood experience or extreme stress. So while Depression is one of the most common conditions with over 300 million sufferers worldwide – it is also quite possibly one of themostmisunderstood disorders of the mind.

History of Depression Treatments

Still known as “melancholy” right up to the Victorian era, it wasn’t until 1856 that depression was considered a medical condition. Ever since then the treatment for depression has been predominantly drug therapy with anti-depressant medication. More recently talk therapy including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been paired with the drugs as the most popular treatment – HOWEVER – there are people who have been on anti-depressant medication for decades which has many people questioning the validity of their use.

Why have I been on Anti-depressants for twenty years and still don’t feel any better?

It’s one of the questions Johann Hari, best selling author and social scientist from the UK wrote about in his book Lost Connections – Uncovering the Real Cause of Depression. He, himself suffered with depression for years and wasn’t getting any better with ever increasing doses of anti-depressant medication. Whilst no-one is dismissing the use of anti-depressants as a treatment option, there’s an ever-increasing number of people who challenge their effectiveness in actually alleviating the problem. Many, including the World Health Organisation have concluded that depression is in fact, not caused by lower levels of serotonin in the brain but is an indicator of the state of our mental health as a society.

Professor Andrew Skull of Princeton University is quoted saying that – the story about depression being caused by low serotonin levels [in other words a chemical imbalance] is “deeply misleading and unscientific” while UK Professor of Psychiatry David Healy says “that the story can’t be discredited because there was never a time when it was credited!”

Don’t settle for outdated treatments…ask more questions.

If you’ve been diagnosed with depression and have been living with the condition for years and don’t feel like you’re getting any better, start asking more questions. Look for alternative therapies, like Hypnotherapy. To put some perspective on this, the Hamilton Scale measures depression based on a number of questions and gives a rating between 0 (no depression) and 56 (severely symptomatic, suicidal). Regular meditation could lower the score by up to 8 points whereas anti-depressant medication lowers the score by around 1-2 points.

“I believe that depression is an emotional disorder more so than a mental disorder, but because they’re so closely related it gets categorised as a mental health problem – it’s often unclear which comes first since our thoughts trigger our feelings which then add meaning to our thoughts. It’s almost a never-ending cycle. I would absolutely love for people to consider this – depression is caused by not having one or more of our inherent needs met,” says Roberta.

We have inherent physical needs for air, food, water & warmth to survive, but we also have inherent emotional and psychological needs for love, belonging, senses of significance, certainty and variety as well as a need to contribute to others in order to thrive. If any one of these inherent needs are not met, we can’t thrive and in the case of our physical needs not being met, our survival is under threat. UK Professor Michael Marmont (educated here in Sydney) said, “our culture is not meeting our needs” as we become more and more isolated, by the way we live. We’re no longer tribal, we each go home to our own little box, with less and less interaction with other people, we don’t chat with the cashier at the grocery store check-out anymore, drones are delivering our pizza. You can see how this is happening and why it is getting worse as time goes on and technology improves.

In addition to not having one or more of our inherent needs met is the presence of harsh, critical words we hear in life, which in times of stress, we repeat to ourselves. For example, if our inherent need for a sense of significance is not being met, our subconscious mind will often look for an explanation for that and actually create a notion that we are not “good enough”. We then look for, (or create) evidence to back that up; not finding a suitable partner, being overlooked for a raise, etcetera. It plays over and over in our mind as a looping thought that we come to believe, which ultimately leads to depression, its very difficult to break out of that cycle without knowing how it started; that’s how hypnotherapy helps.

In Part II of this discussion, we discover how Hypnotherapy is a safe, drug-free, all natural and very effective alternative treatment for Depression. In hypnosis, you can uncover the root cause of those looping thoughts and break the cycle without the harmful side effects of drug therapy. You will also discover ways to meet your inherent needs to live a happy and fulfilling life. Alternatively, you can book a Free Discovery Call by clicking on the link below.

Ringing in the Ears? Cure Tinnitus Naturally and Permanently with Hypnosis.

What is Tinnitus?

Commonly known as ringing in the ears, Tinnitus can also be characterised by a high pitch whine, buzzing, clicking, tapping or chirping sound and is often associated with a hearing loss or impairment.

What Causes Tinnitus?

Tinnitus has been related to incidents of head injury, whiplash, exposure to excessive noise, as a side effect of certain medications or even a build up of ear wax. However, there is strong evidence to suggest that the presence of these conditions can be co-incidental to the tinnitus and therefore not the cause at all. In fact, there is thousands of documented cases of tinnitus with no apparent cause – it just showed up out of nowhere.

The truth is our ears are particularly sensitive to changes in pressure – which in turn is affected by energetic charge in the atmosphere.

It’s why dogs can “sense” the coming of a storm even before the clouds appear – we too can sense the change in vibrational energy through the changes in atmospheric pressure.

Our ears don’t just react to the shifts in physical energy, but also the shifts in emotional energy which also vibrate the way sound waves vibrate. Our bodies are transmitters and receivers of information through this vibrational energy and our ears can pick up on emotional vibrations.

Wait! Emotions Vibrate? And We Can Hear Them?

Yes, you can “hear” when someone’s happy, sad, angry or afraid even when you can’t see their face or hear their voice – they send out a vibrational energy that we inherently recognise as a particular emotion.

Dr David R. Hawkins, Psychiatrist and author of RediscoveringYourself created a Map of Consciousness in which he measures the frequency of vibration emitted by emotional states similar to sound waves. The lowest vibration emotions like shame and guilt are measured at 20 while love is measured at 500.

“That’s why you can usually tell when someone’s not happy – we “sense” the way people around us are feeling. Our bodies pick up on the vibrations that others give off – at a subconscious level,” says Roberta.

How does this “vibe” become Tinnitus?

An emotional memory has been triggered in the subconscious mind, and the body is responding to it by adding a ringing in the ears to get our attention. Possibly an emotion you don’t recognise or an emotion attached to an event you don’t remember – it may have been too painful or frightening to remember. The amygdala in our brain senses something foreign, unfamiliar, or frightening it sends a message through the sympathetic nervous system to activate fight or flight mode and we experience a sense of distress which presents as tinnitus.

For example, I saw a middle-aged gentleman, who had fallen down an old mine shaft as a 2 year old – he didn’t remember the experience, only what he’d heard his parents tell about the story… but as you can imagine it must have been quite frightening for him as a child – not to mention how much of a fright it would have caused his parents. He developed tinnitus after watching a news story about a group of kids trapped in an underground tunnel – because at a subconscious level, his mind was remembering his own experience and was triggered to vibrate the sound of the emotions he experienced as a kid. In hypnosis, he was able to remember the childhood incident and make the emotional connection between that and the news story; and help his mind understand that any perceived threat had passed; then… the tinnitus stopped.

How can Hypnosis cure Tinnitus?

Quite simply, hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation in which we can help a person unlock the subconscious mind and discover the emotion or the event in which they first experienced that emotion that might have caused them enough pain or fear that they needed to shut it away. Even if the tinnitus was triggered by a more recent event such as an injury, the subconscious mind is using this as an opportunity to show you something that it wants you to know. This is called regression and it’s just like opening up an old file from a filing cabinet to help you better understand something that’s happening in the present.

Not only that, hypnosis is the state at which our minds are at their most receptive to new ideas, so it’s the perfect way for a person to change the way they feel about something and decide not to be bothered by it any more. This is the transformation stage of the process and the reason why, the results can be made permanent.

Hypnotherapy is an all-natural, drug-free, non-invasive treatment for many issues and tinnitus is one of the latest and most exciting issues to be tackled using hypnosis because it has previously been thought to be incurable. Hypnotherapy is the answer.

For a certain number of people, aging is a factor – it’s true that, as we age, hormone levels decrease which can affect our ability as well as our desire to perform sexually.

Also, sexual dysfunction can be a warning sign for something that needs your urgent attention like Diabetes, Heart Disease, Hypertension & Alcohol Abuse. It’s wise to check with a Doctor.

Wait! Before you spend a fortune on little blue pills…

Data shows that as many as 20% of men and around 40% of women sufferers, develop sexual dysfunction as a result of a stressful event in their life.

I’d like to suggest that the numbers are actually higher, based on the fact that so many people aren’t even aware of a particular event that might have set this off – so clever is our subconscious mind at trying to protect us from painful memories – it will hide them away for us.

The trouble is, the emotions experienced at the time remain, only we don’t really know what they are, but they will show up as… you guessed it… problems in the bedroom.

For example, a 22 yo male client who witnessed his older sister being abused as a child, had no conscious memory of that ever occurring, but in hypnosis he recalled her distress and in his child’s mind at the time, vowed he would never do, to anyone, the thing that made her so upset. He created erectile dysfunction in relationships as a result – so powerful was his conviction.

So how exactly does hypnosis work to help with this?

In hypnosis – which is a lovely, deep state of relaxation – we can discover what the original stressful event in a person’s life was – in a safe way – they don’t have to re-live it – they can review it from a distance for the purpose of understanding it and merely identify the emotions they were experiencing at the time – without actually having to re-experience them.

Then imagine we can change the meaning of that stressful event in that person’s mind, so that it no longer causes them distress – neutralise it, so to speak – whether it’s a childhood event or even stress at work interfering with relaxation at home…

Sounds simple?

Yes, it certainly can be – plus we can add a brand of intervention called Cell Command Therapy trademarked by Marisa Peer – where, in hypnosis we can program the mind to restore, recreate, and reactivate the sexual function of the body at an atomic and sub-atomic level.

How is Hypnosis Different?

For starters, you don’t have to take your clothes off to have treatment. Hypnosis is a completely non-invasive, all natural, drug-free, holistic therapy.With technology, you can have a session via video-call from the comfort of your own home. Private and professional services mean there’s less embarrassment while sitting around in clinics or waiting rooms.

How do I know if hypnotherapy is right for me?

Book in for a free exploratory consultation. It’s obligation free – an opportunity to ask as many questions as you like to see if it’s right for you and move on from there.

Whether it’s migraine headache, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, stomach upsets or the pain of depression, anxiety or PTSD, every pain, every discomfort, every dis-ease, every dys-function is your body’s way of trying to get your attention and to focus on a bigger or deeper emotional problem that it wants you to heal. It’s time to listen up!

Don’t let pain control you…

Clinical Hypnotherapist, Roberta McInturff wants everyone to know, there’s a lot you can do about your pain and it doesn’t involve taking more pills. It’s about finding the root cause of the pain and taking control of it, instead of it controlling you.

Looking for a safe and effective solution to pain?

Hypnotherapy is an all-natural, non-invasive, drug free, safe alternative treatment for pain. It can be used to treat all types of pain from chronic pain, nerve pain, joint pain, headache and the pain of injury. Hypnotherapy is very useful for the treatment of psychogenic pain – or the pain of depression, anxiety, grief or loss.

“The mind can be programmed to “block” the neurotransmitters carrying the pain message to various parts of the body.”

How does hypnotherapy work on pain?

Psychologist, Dr Susanne Babbel, who specialises in trauma and depression is quoted in Psychology Today as saying, “Studies have shown that chronic pain might not only be caused by physical injury but also by stress and emotional issues. Often, physical pain functions to warn a person that there is still emotional work to be done.”

The sub-conscious part of our mind can create physical symptoms to alert us to a deep emotional problem. It is in fact, the emotional issue that is the root cause of all pain, disease and illness. Arthritis, cancer, fibromyalgia, migraine, PTSD, depression, chronic fatigue, infertility, PCOS, endometriosis and so on all have emotional root causes that can be discovered and “uninstalled” from the sub-conscious mind through the use of hypnosis.

My Pain is Real! I’ve had tests to prove it!

Yes! Absolutely, your pain is real! No-one is arguing the validity of your pain being real or not; nor is it about patronising any person and making their pain “real for them”. It’s true, your pain IS VERY real and yes, the suggested cause of your pain can be corroborated by any number of tests and diagnostic tools.

It’s usually, at this point, many people get defensive, become outraged at the mere suggestion that their pain or their illness is “all in their head”.

“What I’d like everyone to start to challenge is, not just how that pain got there, but why? Yes, I know the scans showed there was inflammation – but why? Without going into every symptom of every disease and ailment, think about your own pain for a moment. Where did it come from? Where did it all start?”

Not convinced…?

Use Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) as an example. According to the Mayo Clinic, Rheumatoid arthritis is:

“…a chronic inflammatory disorder that can affect more than just your joints. In some people, the condition can damage a wide variety of body systems, including the skin, eyes, lungs, heart and blood vessels. An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body’s tissues…there is no cure…we don’t know why this occurs…”

We’ve established the fact that the pain is caused by the swelling, the swelling is caused by the auto immune system attacking the tissue lining the joints, but WHY? Why does our immune system attack our own body? This applies to every autoimmune disease. There are no medical tests, that doctors can perform to answer that question and so it remains a “mystery” in the field of medicine. The answer, does however, lay in the mind – in the deep, subconscious part of the mind where our emotions are created and memories of our emotional experiences are stored – it’s linked to the part of the mind where our DNA is created.

Epigenetics – the scientific explanation…

Epigenetics is the term used to describe the study of how our genes can create traits (which can be passed from one generation to another) other than through our genetic coding in our DNA. In other words it looks at how our DNA is not actually “fixed” but rather can be altered at a molecular level. Research conducted at places like the British Society for Cell Biology is proving that changes can occur within our DNA as a result of our emotional experiences. This not only explains how diseases and illnesses were ever created in the first place but also, how they have been passed through genetic lineages and seen as a “family history” of a particular disease or illness.

You can reprogram your DNA!

“The good news about this is, if DNA can be affected to create a disease, it can be reprogrammed to UN-create it,” says Roberta. “Even after several generations.”

Need more convincing?

Dr Joe Dispenza, wrote a book titled You Are The Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter. He combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioural conditioning and quantum physics to demonstrate the power of the mind in both creating and healing pain, illness and disease. He shares dozens of documented cases of people who have reversed cancer, heart disease, depression, crippling arthritis and Parkinson’s through the power of their own mind as well as stories of others who’ve gotten sick and even died after being misdiagnosed with a fatal illness, believed in hexes or a voodoo curse, so strong was their belief.

“This is really exciting,” says Roberta. “Because it means, there is hope for sufferers of chronic pain and illness who want to eradicate the pain, not just manage it.”

How does the DNA get altered to create the pain or illness in the first place?

Extensive studies indicate that emotional experiences in childhood can create fear responses so deep in the sub- conscious mind that they remain largely hidden amidst any number of physical or psychological symptoms until they become intolerable or chronic disease in adulthood.

ACEs?

…is an acronym for Adverse Childhood Experiences, the study of which was developed in 1985 by Dr Vincent Felitti and conducted through the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Felitti discovered that most of the patients in his obesity clinic had a background of adverse childhood experiences such as physical, sexual and emotional abuse, physical and emotional neglect, household violence, drug and alcohol abuse and mental illness in primary caregivers. In one of the largest epidemiological studies in the US, more than 17,000 people of the study were examined and completed an ACE Quiz in order to determine a correlation between adverse experiences in childhood and health concerns, both physical and mental, later in life.

The study showed: “…an individual with an ACE score of four or higher was 260% more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary (heart) disease than someone with a score of 0, 240% more likely to contract hepatitis, 460% more likely to experience depression, and 1,220% more likely to attempt suicide.’’

“A situation doesn’t have to be abusive to be traumatic for a child. Having the lights go out in a severe thunder storm or overhearing an argument can be frightening enough in a child’s mind to be etched there forever as one of the worst experiences of their life. From that moment, all the child’s beliefs are based on the meaning they placed on that feeling of fear.“

Stories created in the mind to protect the body…

Children, especially young children are not always capable of voicing their concerns and even when they do, they’re not always listened to. This can leave children to feel isolated and alone with their feelings.

More and more research shows that many of the chronic illnesses for which doctors cannot find a cause or a cure, have origins deep inside the subconscious mind. These include the autoimmune diseases, fibro-myalgia, IBS, PTSD, PCOS, Endo, the list goes on.

“I had a client who had headaches and high blood pressure. Doctors couldn’t find a cause, but kept increasing the medication, which was having adverse side effects. Through hypnosis we discovered that the person had a difficult birth – had been stuck in the birth canal and experienced the pressure and panic of mother, doctors and midwives trying to get him out”. The client had no conscious memory of that experience – it was buried deep in the subconscious mind and revealed in hypnosis.

Pain and illness, is your body’s way of demanding your attention to heal an emotional wound. A wound that you’ve artfully, yet subconsciously hidden and ignored for a very long time and now, your symptoms, are just like an alarm going off. Your pain is a call to action. Your body is screaming for attention. Don’t ignore it.

Hypnotherapy as an alternative to drugs for pain relief.

“Your body achieves what your mind believes” – a somewhat bastardised version of Napolean Hill’s words in his 1937 best seller Think and Grow Rich. When you are prepared to see your pain as a messenger telling you something that you need to know about your life URGENTLY, and you’re prepared to receive the message and act on it – Mission accomplished! The Pain can go! But…If you continue to ignore the messenger or mute it with drugs, alcohol or addictive behaviours it will continue to hound you for your attention, or kill you trying.

How does hypnotherapy work?

“I saw a client whose migraine headaches were from overhearing his mother repeatedly complain that his father’s drinking was “doing her head in” – it was his child-mind’s way, of having his need for parental attention met.”

“It’s not always clear what the pain’s message is,” Roberta says. “I can help you interpret the message, and guide you to understanding what your body is trying to tell you. Paying attention to your body’s signals is the kindest thing you can do for yourself. Getting to the root cause of your pain or illness is showing that you’re paying attention and to do that you need to go deep into the subconscious mind and unlock those hidden emotional experiences.

Science or magic?

This is not magic, this is the power of your own mind to heal your body at a molecular level and being guided by a caring professional to discover the truth of your pain and powerfully using your own thoughts to change your DNA and be free of dis-ease in your own body now and for generations to follow. There are no incurable diseases when you know how and why they start and you believe in the power you have to heal yourself.

I had been searching sometime for a Hypnotherapist that would
focus on past life regression, it was difficult to find someone I felt
comfortable with right away until I was introduced to Roberta through a friend
of mine, from the moment I spoke with Roberta I knew she would be the one that
I could put my trust in to get the answers I needed. Roberta made me feel
comfortable from the moment I walked in her friendly and caring nature made the
experience very pleasant and I have since referred several friends that have
all had a great experience’s. If you are searching for answers within, yourself
or to overcome underlying issues that just can’t seem to be resolved I would
highly recommend a session with Roberta.

Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist, Hypnotherapist and Guide to Self-Healing Meditation, Roberta McInturff, has developed an innate passion for treating sufferers of PCOS & Endometriosis as well as other conditions affecting fertility and the quality of life for young women all over the world. Since learning of her daughter’s diagnosis, over five years ago, Roberta began tirelessly researching all the latest treatments for the affliction and discovered, there were none! At best, current treatments only offer to alleviate the many symptoms and side-issues associated and often quickly progress to expensive drugs or painful surgery with little relief. From her practice in Australia, Roberta has developed her skills and her drive to a powerful, all natural, drug-free, holistic approach to health & wellness with the Marisa Peer method of Rapid Transformational Therapy and Hypnotherapy for resolving the issue, permanently.

FIRSTLY, WHAT IS PCOS?

Poly Cystic Ovaries Syndrome or many, many cysts on the ovaries (that we don’t know how to fix or why you got them). It is a real, medical condition. A basic Google search will tell you PCOS is:

“A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. Treatment can help, but this condition can’t be cured. [Diagnosis] Requires a medical diagnosis, Lab tests or ultrasound imaging. [PCOS is] Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong. The cause of poly cystic ovary syndrome isn’t well understood, but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include menstrual irregularity, excess hair growth, acne and obesity. Treatments include birth control pills to regularise periods, medication called metformin to prevent diabetes, statins to control high cholesterol, hormones to increase fertility and procedures to remove excess hair.” https://www.gstatic.com/healthricherkp/pdf/polycystic_ovary_syndrome_en_AU.pdf

But, what none of the medical pages tell us about PCOS is just how heart-breaking it is for the individual sufferer. Along with the exaggerated physical pain comes the emotional and psychological torture starting for many young ladies when they’re not taken seriously or can’t even get a diagnosis. When, finally, they are sent for blood tests and ultrasound scanning – a process which can take months – it is the long list of symptoms that may or may not be present and the varying degrees to which each person suffers that can conclude in the pronouncement of PCOS, if you’re “lucky”?

Imagine being told that obesity is a symptom of PCOS, which is a relief for some girls; to be given a reason for being overweight that doesn’t involve poor diet or a lack of exercise…? Finally! However, the medicos then say weight loss is one of the treatments for PCOS. Is it just me or is that a chicken & egg scenario? What that says to me is “you are overweight, because you have PCOS (and there is no cure) and you have PCOS because you are overweight.”

But even worse still is being told that PCOS affects fertility and as a result, you may not be able to become pregnant.

“I hear stories almost daily, from young women so desperate to become pregnant, have a baby and start a family but they’ve been told it’s not possible because of PCOS or Endo – and they haven’t even explored all the possible treatments. My heart breaks for these girls – I believe I can help them. The medical professionals do themselves a disservice, by not offering to explore every possible solution for their patient,” says Roberta

SO, WHAT IS ENDO – ENDOMETRIOSIS?

“A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. Treatable by a medical professional. [Diagnosis] Requires a medical diagnosis, Lab tests or imaging. [Endometriosis is] Chronic: can last for years or be lifelong. [In the case of] endometriosis, the tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the intestines. The most common symptoms are pain and menstrual irregularities. Effective treatments, such as hormones and excision surgery, are available.”

Again, the extreme physical pain in the Endo sufferer is impacted by their emotional and psychological torment when their suffering is not taken seriously despite often being completely incapacitated for several days each cycle, waiting for a diagnosis and feeling powerless to overcome the very real threat to their dreams of conceiving a child; and the treatments offered pose just as great a threat! Many sufferers of both PCOS and ENDO feel very let down, even betrayed by the medical profession some even describing their experience as being treated like a lab rat in an experiment or worse… invisible.

“This is not about exotic herbs, supplements, special diet formulas, exercise regimes or magic berries from lands faraway. This is much more powerful. And you don’t even need to change out of your pyjamas to get it,” says Roberta.

Scientists have confirmed through brain scans, that when the mind is at rest, such as in the state of hypnosis, the usually taciturn parts of the brain light up the strongest.

Studies have also shown that patients when tuned into their subconscious mind are able to use the power of their own thoughts to make physiological changes within their body. Such as in the study of the Buddhist monks able to dry bed sheets in near freezing conditions, with their own body heat – created with the power of their mind.

Hypnotherapy has proven one of the most powerful tools to redirect neural pathways and improve the communications between the brain and body to such a degree as to alter the physical structure at a cellular level.

If you’re suffering with PCOS you have an imbalance between the male and female hormones in your body. In hypnosis, Roberta can help you balance those hormones through the power of your own mind. You will have the added benefits of eliminating unwanted facial and body hair and a simple solution for pattern baldness.

Roberta is able apply the Marisa Peer method of Hypnotherapy known as RTT® to help shed the excess weight frequently associated with PCOS and avert the more serious health issues of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Furthermore, in her practice, Roberta has successfully confirmed Hypnotherapy as an effective treatment for reducing the severity and intensity of pain in chronic sufferers; pain associated with degenerative disease, illness and injury as well as neuropathic (nerve) pain and muscular spasms because of interrupted blood flows to areas of the body such as is the case with Endometriosis; the use of Cellular Transformation through guided Meditation has the power to alter one’s physical state, at the cellular level.

“In Hypnosis, I can get the client to “dial down” the pain and with the powerful combination of integration of mind, body and spirit plus neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) given both in session and individually tailored, take-home recordings I am able to guide the client to eventually be able to switch it off altogether.”

But the best news of all, is Roberta is able to use this particularly powerful style of hypnotherapy to get to the root cause of fertility issues in women who’ve been told they can’t have children. Offering untold relief to women and girls who struggle to accept the “why” of their disorder and providing the answers that the medical profession can’t, Roberta works collaboratively with the client offering tailor-made resolution to fertility issues specific to each person.

“There is no one-size-fits all treatment to PCOS or Endo which I’ve learned practicing hypnotherapy. The causes, symptoms and therefore treatment is as unique as each client,” says Roberta. “And I think that’s what the medical professionals just don’t get…”.

“That’s also what makes my work so fascinating – each young lady and her situation is special and needs to be treated as such. I so enjoy helping these girls – the chance to offer hope where there’s been none is very rewarding.”
